ENGINE 341

The Kinney Hose Company currently operates one of Butler's two 1996 E-One Cyclone Engines. This Engine's designation is Engine 341 and it currently resides in the Carey Avenue Firehouse.

The Engine was purchased along with Bartholdi Hose's Engine 342 from E-One in 1996. Each of these Engines has replaced a Young Open Cab style Engine.

Engine 341 currently has seating for 8, including 7 pack seats (one for the officer and 6 in the rear of the cab). This piece of apparatus is a Front Line Attack Engine that responds as the First Due Engine to a high percentage of our calls. This engine responds to all structure fires and other types of fires, as well as vehicle crashes as a support vehicle.

Engine 341 is outfitted with a 1000 gallon tank to allow for the initial crew to get water to the fire prior to connecting to a fire hydrant. There are several 1 3/4" crosslays near the rear of the cab, as well as one 1 3/4" Trash Line off of the front bumper. The engine also has about 1000 feet of 5' Large Diameter Hose which is used to connect to fire hydrants as well as other apparatus.
